Turning Disks On-Line and Off-Line on-the-fly
You may turn the objects in the virtual RAID or volume set on-line and off-line by selecting/clearing the
checkbox on the Parents tab. It may be useful, for example, if you need to see which disk is non-actual in a
RAID 5.
Actually, when you turn an object off-line, R-Studio substitutes it with a Missing Disk or Empty Space object.
Missing Disks and Empty Space
If one partition from a hardware volume set or RAID or software volume set or RAID is absent, due to
hardware failure, for example, you need to add a virtual missing disk or empty space in order to correctly re-
construct the hardware volume set or RAID or software volume set or RAID structure. The missing disk/empty
space should be placed in the same place as the missing partition.
Note: R-Studio does not write anything real on the disk. Missing disks/empty space are virtual objects that do
not affect actual data on the drive.
To add a Missing disk/Empty space object
1 Select a Volume sets and RAIDs object on the R-Studio's Drives panel
2 Right-click in the Parents tab in the right pane and select Add Missing Disk or Add Empty Space on the
shortcut menu or select Add Missing Disk or Add Empty Space on the Create menu. Which object type
is necessary, R-Studio decides automatically.
For the Empty space object, Specify its size on the Add Empty Space dialog box.
